Thanks for doing some work on this Jonas. It's something I've been
interested in for a while. I haven't had an opportunity to read the
bips but I will do so soon and comment. <br>
<br>
As far as the use cases others mentioned, connecting and SPV wallet
to your full node is certainly one. It would make it easy to, say,
connect the android bitcoin-wallet to your own node. I've hacked on
that wallet to make it connect to my .onion node, but it's very slow
border-line unusable. Basic encryption and authentication would make
that viable. <br>
<br>
Also, while bloom filtering in bitcoinj is broken, it could be fixed
by just creating a single filter and filling it with 1000 addresses
and persisting it to disk. The main issue is you can't restore from
seed that way and would have to revert to what bitcoinj does now and
blow your privacy. If you had the ability to make an encrypted
connection to a trusted node just for restoring from seed, you could
save your privacy during a restore. <br>
